The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.
These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.
Unconscionable
I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.
California and Virginia let voters decide.
That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.
Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
My first thought is . . . what exactly is the alleged crime here?
And then I remember -- there doesn't really need to be one.

What if I told you government could do things to meaningfully improve your life?
The president’s about-face came hours after he declared he did not plan to extend the two-week ceasefire with Tehran.
Joe Manchin still exists?
I had hoped he’d fucked all the way off. Into the sun.
🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.
Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.
Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.
The public deserves full transparency about whether other cities were given fair consideration and whether Trump used his authority to steer the G20 to essentially himself.
200,000 acres of Native Hawaiian land. 100 years of federal trust obligation.
Trump's move: reclassify them as a racial group, not a tribal nation. Same land. New legal category. Zero obligation.
That's not a budget cut. That's a legal erasure. #taxtherich
Also the Decepticons were always totally down with physical sports. Most versions of Megatron were arena gladiators. They probably had robot football, too
"Patel’s chugging a beer at the Olympics may not strike him as excessive drinking, but the context of it made it unseemly. and that’s an allegation—the key one—about which Kash is completely silent" @emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel.net/2026/04/20/i...
DONALD TRUMP: Mail-in voting is CHEATING.
ALSO DONALD TRUMP: I did a mail-in ballot because I'm the President of the United States.
This is not a joke or sarcasm. This was literally Donald Trump's rhetoric over the course of mere days last month (and it reinforces Greg's summary of Trumpism).
Right: [reviles academia for generations, celebrates deportations for writing op-eds and protesting, dismantles departments it doesn’t like, enacts de jure speech codes]
Left: [is sometimes annoying and unserious]
Some Academics:
I hope one day there are penalties for lying again.
GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
There are unlimited genuine problems with higher education that all should be fixed, many of which Zimmerman mentions in article. But the main reason MAGA hate higher education is because of the good things it succeeds at doing, like promoting critical thinking and making citizens of all races smart
If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.
Fascism
This is not getting nearly enough media or public attention.

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs.
1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary.
2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business.
3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$.
4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds.
5) Consumers will get squat.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks
